The Chicago White Sox needed a big game from everyone. They also needed to see their bullpen at its best if the ball was handed over to them with a lead. That was the case on Monday night when the White Sox defeated the Oakland A’s by a final score of 5-2. The offense did its job but it would have all been for not if they didn’t get good pitching.
